because every player will say something
bad or wrong to their caddie. A good caddie
doesn’t let anything faze him and that’s the
way it has to be. In competition, caddies are
going to cop abuse. Trust me, there are 145
players out there (each tournament) and 125
of them are giving abuse to their caddies. I’ve
seen, lived it and know it. The best caddies
cop it and continue doing their job without
changing their demeanour. The ones that
do that are special and more often than not
caddieing for the best players in the world.

Your son, Harry, has carried your bag on a
few occasions. How did that pan out?
Well the first tournament he ever caddied for
me was in Louisanna on the Web.com Tour
last year and we came fifth. He did a fantastic
job, but said he needed the following week
off because he was too tired [laughs]. It was a
moment in my life I will always cherish because
I always wanted my son to carry my bag at least
once in a tournament, so that was special.

You’re 46. Is the Champions Tour on the
radar for you when you hit the big five-oh?
Absolutely ... but I’ve still got three-and-a-bit
years. I think my first Champions Tour event
will be the Senior British Open because my
birthday is July 12 and a couple of weeks
after that is the Open. It’s definitely on the
cards and maybe Harry can carry my bag for
a couple of senior events. He’ll be done with
college by then. But who knows, maybe my
wife will want to cop some abuse and caddie
for me [laughs].

Fitness is key for all tour players these
days, particularly for blokes like
yourself wanting to keep up with the
20-somethings. Do you look at someone
like Greg Norman as a benchmark for
keeping fit in your senior years?
I don’t know. Greg hasn’t spoken to me since
the 2011 Presidents Cup in Melbourne. But
I’ve seen the pictures and footage of him. He’s
always been fit.
